Day 16 Ft. Lauderdale

Well one cruise ends and another starts….  It was sad to see Brad & Gloria leave but they will be back in 17 days for the World Voyage.  We have over 1500 guests onboard now of which about 250 are kids, Oh joy….  It could be an interesting week.  Tomorrow is Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas.  I really like it there, great beach day.  I will go ashore on the first tender.  If there is a big  line to get a tender, I may stay on board. I hate it when they do away with priority tendering for the 4 star Mariners.  I will have a sunny day either way, I am very flexible……

  1. Why did they do away with the priority tendering? Your pics today are amazing.

  2. They are not requiring tender tickets which means it is a free for all.... With over 1500 guests it could be some long lines. I would rather relax by the pool than stand in line....

  6. Great pictures! Watched the sail-away yesterday and wondering where you spend that time. My late husband and I were always in Crow's Nest. Now my cruising days are over so thankfully I can enjoy your wonderful photos.

  8. Jeff I get the impression getting you dressed as santa with a kid on your lap may not be in the cards :)
